JOHN WILLIAM WOOLVEN, OF PULBOROUGH, ENGLAND.

LID OF SAUCEPANS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed November 13, 1905. Serial No. 287,177.

Patented Jan. 1, 1907.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN WILLIAM WooL- VEN, of Ashington, Pulborough, in the county of Sussex, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Connection with the Lids of Saucepans and the Like, of which the following is a'specification.

This invention relates to improvements in connection with the lids of saucepans and the like, the object being to provide means for removing the lid by the use of one handonly and without danger of scalding the hand in use.

In carrying my invention into effect I proceed in, or in about, the following manner, making reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a sectional side view, and Fig. 2 a plan. i

.To the ordinary handle a of a saucepan b I pivotallyattach another handle 0, fastened to the lid (1, the mode of attachment of a to c being preferably by a stud e, on which the handle can be turned by pressure of the thumb on the upturned end f of the handle 0, the thumb being at the same time given a slight side movement.

On the stud e and between a and c is a washer g, fastened to d and having an outstanding rim h, in which is a notch i, and on the under side of c is a hook j, which when f is pressed down enters the notch t and permits the lid to be moved fromover the saucepan in its raised position owing to the hook sliding under the rim h.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination with the lid of a sauce pan of a supplementary handle, one end of which is attached to the lid, the said supplementary handle being above the ordinary JOHN WILLIAM WOOLVEN.
